Brazilian jockey gets off the mark in Ireland

I have ridden 270 winners in Brazil and I’ve had a few in Australia as well. It’s my first winner in Ireland, I’ve only had four rides here and one in England. Things are going well and I’m happy with the place and the people, everyone is good. Everything is good here and I’m so happy.

Second success for Platino Bianco

coming back to a straight track on fast ground was the key today as she doesn’t gallop around a bend. I thought if she bounced right and got a bit of room, she’d have a chance. It’s a stiff five here and she wants every bit of six. They went hard and she ground it out to the line. She’s one for England all day but it’s the expense of going over there, so it’s nice that it happened today. I’ll keep her to a straight track if I can get them, it’s easier to find those options for her in Ireland.

Blanco leads home Naas '1-2', defeating Gavoo

he was looking at everything but was always doing enough and is progressive. He’s run over a mile, and seven furlongs, but he’s probably not a six-furlong horse so could step up in trip again. He’s a big horse for a Havana Grey and hopefully can improve again.
